Acer has got a cool mobile phone coming at MWC 2012, the CloudMobile, that you can see below. Believe it or not, this handset already won an iF design award and I have to say it adopts a pretty original design. The CloudMobile comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a HD display, among others. We’ll see this unit demoed in Barcelona, at...
Since Lenovo and Toshiba Fujitsu have WP7 device, why shouldn’t Acer get a piece of the action? That’s what they did, by announcing the Allegro WP7 Mango device for the French market. This is their first attempt at a WP device, so we’ll have to give them credit for the first try. The result is a seemingly cheap device, that looks...
Remember the Acer W4 handset? This Windows Phone unit was spotted a bunch of times during Microsoft presentations and now it’s back with an official name: Allegro. Acer Allegro will be launched in Europe around Christmas time and it will be priced at 299 euro. This price tag is pretty good, especially considering this is a Mango OS handset, but...
Since HTC unveiled last week two new Windows Phone Mango devices, Acer did a similar thing at IFA 2011, showcasing the Acer W4 Mango phone we’ve already heard about. Seen as mockups and concepts for a while now, the device looks good in real life and it’s probably the most compact Windows Phone unit to date. With a display that sports a...
And we thought that the HTC Eternity was huge, with its 4.7 inch display… wait till you see the Acer Iconia Smart, a 4.8 inch smartphone coming to Germany in September with a 499 euro price tag.

Computex 2011 wasn’t all about tablets, as some phones were also spotted in Taipei, like the very first Windows Phone Mango device you can see below. I’m talking about the Acer W4, seen below and caught in a hands-on (of a mockup) in the video at the end of the article. We are dealing with a 3.6 inch smartphone, supporting a 800 x 480 pixel...
Thanks to Spanish retailer ThePhoneHouse, we now have a pretty good picture of the offers associated to the latest tablets in Europe. Motorola Xoom is priced at 699 euros, in the 3G version, while the 3D LG Optimus Pad slate will cost a bit more, 849 euros. However, for this price you get 3D screen visualization and 3D capture with the aid of the back...
Acer has been working hard on a new handset, the beTouch E210 model, that’s supposed to be both entry level and business-oriented. This handset comes with a front portrait QWERTY keyboard and it was recently spotted over at the FCC, that also provided the features of the handset.

After announcing the Iconia Tegra 2 tablet, Acer also unveiled two entry level smartphones at CES 2011: the Liquid Mini and beTouch E210 models. Both run Android 2.2 Froyo and should come with reasonable price tags in March or April, when they’ll hit the UK shops. Acer Liquid Mini is very much like the Liquid model, albeit a tad tinier (screen...

It packs a 600MHz CPU (Qualcomm MSM7227) and incorporates a 2.8 inch touch display. The product is aimed at the entry level smartphone market, possibly...
